GEORGE L EAS, OF SHIRLEYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA,

Letters Patent No. 72,306, dated December 17, 1867.

LAMP-CHIMNEY CLEANER,

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, GEORGE LEAS, of Shirleysburg, in the county of Huntingdon, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usei'ul Improvement in Lamp-Chimney Cleaners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the artto make and use the'same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

The drawing represents a perspective view of my improved lamp-chimney cleaner.

The invention relates to a new and useful improvement in the construction of an instrument for cleaning lamp-chimneys, and consists in a curved metal rod, having a serrated conical disk or cap in one end, by which a bit of paper, cloth, or fibrous substance of anysuitable kind, for wiping, cleaning, and polishing a lampchimney, may be introduced therein, and held firmly against the glass while'the operation of wiping and cleaningis performed.

The extreme simplicity, cheapness, and convenience of this invention secure to it very great advantages for domestic use. i I v A is a piece of wire or metal rod, provided at one end with a handle, 0, and having made fast to it at the other end, by a rivet or screw, a thin brass or other metallic cap or conical disk, B, the edge of which is serrated, so as to catch and hold firmlya piece of paper or cloth when introduced into a lamp-chimney and rubbed against the glass, for the purpose of cleaning and polishing the chimney.v The rod A is curved in such a manner that the cap may be introduced into the chimney at either end easily, and'pressed against the glass on the inside of the chimney. I Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is The lamp-chimney cleaner, as described, the disk B of which is provided with a serrated metallic flange, as herein set forth.

GEORGE LEAS. Witnesses:
